TIFF at the Drake

The city's "hot bed for culture" hotel isn't just for stars during the festival (though a long list of boldfaced names including Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell have camped out here during TIFFs past). On September 6, the Drake rolls out the black carpet for its Overdrive Launch Party, an everyone's-invited TIFF bash starting at 9 pm featuring an airstream trailer tattoo parlour, on-site barbershop and live performances in the Underground ($10). 1150 Queen West, 416-531-5042, thedrakehotel.ca.
